I believe what’s going on here is Michael going from a minor to a major key (or vica versa) - that will produce a cancellation of all current accidentals and then restating the new key signature. Easy fix: only use major keys.
I've never understood why Finale (and Sibelius) offer major and minor key signatures as options -- after all, regardless of whether a piece is in major or minor, the key signature which is displayed is always for the relative major key. I think originally it was supposed to affect how Finale (and Sibelius) notate raised 6th and 7th degrees when entered from a keyboard but in my experience both programs make wrong choices.
I haven't chosen minor keys in either program for many many years -- I always use the major key signature that's appropriate.
Regardless of whether one is choosing major or minor key signatures, that shouldn't affect how the naturals are displayed. Switching between major and minor keys shouldn't require the total cancellation of one key signature before showing the next key signature. The transition from one key signature to the next should work the same in all situations, cancelling only the necessary accidentals.
